Thought I’d share a few pictures from my Denali expedition. I set a goal 3 years ago to climb Denali, and finally made it happen.
Denali seen from Talkeetna, ~60 miles away
Loading up on the air taxi
Flying over massive glaciers
Setup at Denali base camp, with Foraker in the background
Looking down the Kahiltna glacier while digging a cache at 10k ft
The morning sun poking around the mountain at camp III
Climbers descending past camp III, after a successful summit
Looking up to the fixed lines from camp IV
View of Foraker from camp IV
A wind blown camp V
The autobahn on the right, from camp V
Ascending the autobahn in cold like I’ve never experienced
The final summit ridge
Plaque on the summit
View from the summit
Looking down on climbers ascending the summit ridge
Descending the spine of the west buttress
Nearing base camp on the Kahiltna around 2am. This was about as dark as it got. Foraker on the right
